Haven't watched the video but I wanted to say I am a huge fan of him. His work outside of Mr. Bean and Blackadder (haven't seen it yet!) is hilariously funny to me, and him along with Monty Python were instrumental in my becoming very fond of the English humour and culture and eventually deciding to move here.
I got all of this sketches memorised. There's some kind of deep social intelligence behind his comedy, that's apparent when he's not in character, i.e. during an interview, where it's impossible not to be charmed by his eloquence and demeanour.
I recommend: the "beatings" and the Shakespearean actor sketches.
